21 Alleged Kiccdoe Gang Members Arrested in Texas Crackdown

On November 10, 2025, police and the FBI announced the arrest of 21 alleged members of the Kiccdoe gang in a multi-year joint operation. The suspects, ranging in age from 18 to 23 years old, are charged with a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization) conspiracy, as well as drug and weapons offenses.

According to authorities, the Kiccdoe gang is responsible for the majority of violent crime in Arlington, Texas, and the surrounding metroplex. The investigation, which involved around 450 law enforcement officers, uncovered the gang's alleged involvement in drive-by shootings, numerous attempted murders, and even homicides. They are also accused of engaging in organized crime, drug trafficking, weapons possession, aggravated assault, burglary, armed robbery, and the sexual assault of a child.

"Do not let the ages distract from the havoc that they've inflicted upon our community," said FBI Dallas Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jeremy Wright. "These gang members allegedly use violence and intimidation to protect their territory and profits, instilling fear in their victims and taking revenge on their rivals."

The arrests were made as part of a multi-year investigation that began in 2022 when the Arlington Police Department requested assistance from the local FBI field office. If convicted on the federal charges, many of the suspects face prison sentences ranging from 20 years to life.

"Our city is safer with these suspects off the street, and I hope our community can rest a little easier tonight knowing that," said Arlington Police Chief Al Jones. "We will not tolerate violence in our community, and we're going to do everything in our power to stop it."
